Sourdough Starter

I haven’t purchased a loaf of bread in years and I have been making my own with a sourdough starter that I decided to create and maintain. Overall it’s criminally easy and the products that you can make from a sourdough starter are infinitely better in taste and health.

“…mix a small amount of flour and water in a bowl, a little more flour than water, and stir until smooth. Add a little more water or flour as necessary to obtain a batter that is liquid and pourable, yet thick enough to cling to the spoon.”

This one is very simple. Perfect for a chicken salad with some chow mein noodles or a stir fry.

Alternately you can use it as the dressing for an asian-style coleslaw (see also: coming soon)

What you’ll need:

1/4 C. Rice or white wine Vinegar

1/3 C. Vegetable Oil

2 t. Soy Sauce

1 t. Garlic (minced)

1 t. Ginger (grated)

A whisk or stick blender

To make:

Add the ingredients together and blend until the mixture has emulsified.

A stick blender (or immersion blender) makes this immensely easier. But if all you have is a whisk I would suggest rolling it between your two palms as if you were making snakes out of clay to get the most whisk for your energy.
